Amazon Xbox 360 lightning deals

Amazon’s lightning deals for today (July 20, 2010) are all about the Xbox 360. From 6am PDT to 9pm PDT, Amazon will have a new deal at least every two hours. If you aren’t familiar with lightning deals, allow me to explain. Lightning deals are sales in which Amazon discounts (sometimes significantly) select products. The games are accompanied by hints that are quite fun to try to decipher. This also gives clever gamers the heads up for when the game they want is up for grabs. These deals only last for a short period of time or whenever the supply runs out.

We only have a short time before the first deal kicks off. We will list the times and hints of every lightning deal on this page. We’ll try to solve the hints ourselves, but we know the internet is full of clever individuals. If you have a guess on what the solution to the hints are, feel free to comment. We will also update this page when the games are revealed.
